This paper presents an hypothesis on the mechanism of alkali silica and pozzolanic reactions in concrete based on the competition m~chanism of the kinetics of dissolution of siiica and that of crystallisation of CSH.With the contact of siliceous particles with cement soIution OH-, Ca ++ , Na +, K +
The influence of silica fume on mechanical properties of concrete remains an important technical and research topic. In general, silica fume tends to increase ~e strength of concrete. It is generally believed that the main source of the increase in strength is due to the pozzolanic and microfiller e
Current concern with alkali silica reactions is due to rising alkali contents of cements, changed concrete technology, and necessity of employing marginal aggregates in many areas, as well as to new reports of field damage coming to light. A brief overall view of the physicochemical basis for alkal
